Organic Sea Salt & Lime Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Organic Sea Salt & Lime Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips by Late July OKAY — score 62/90.

A rare clean chip: just organic whole-ground corn, oil, sea salt, and lime oil. It's still a fried, salted snack, but there's nothing engineered here.

Why this verdict

• Only 4 ingredients, all recognizable whole foods and simple oils
• 100% whole-grain corn gives a little fiber
• No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or maltodextrin
• Still fried and salted, so it's a snack, not a health food

Ingredients (4)

• Organic whole ground corn (safe) — Whole-grain corn milled with the germ and bran intact, so it keeps some fiber and nutrients instead of being refined masa.
• Organic sunflower and/or safflower oil (safe) — Organic seed oil used to pop and coat. Fine in the modest amounts here; adds fat and calories.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
• Lime oil (safe) — Real cold-pressed lime oil for flavor, not an artificial 'lime flavor' cocktail.
